Burnley new signings rated and slated

Jack Cork

Disciplined in midfield, intelligent on the ball and an all-round performance to justify the £10million spent to take him to Turf Moor from Swansea this summer. Dug in during the second half as Chelsea rallied and never stopped working. HIT

Jon Walters

A late second-half substitute as Sean Dyche battled to preserve Burnley’s lead. His experience vital as a calming influence as his new team strove to see the game out. JURY’S OUT

Boss: Sean Dyche

Shirt and tie on the touchline. Could have been sitting in an armchair with a cigar. His side’s poor away record from last season was a thing of the past here as the Champions imploded and Burnley cashed in. It is a confidence boost that will do them the power of good as they recover from losing Michael Keane and Andre Gray.

Chelsea new arrivals rated and slated

Alvaro Morata

A goal early after his introduction made for the perfect start to life in the Premier League. He reinvigorated the Chelsea team as he came off the bench and was unfortunate not to score a late equaliser. HIT

Antonio Rudiger

A day to forget. Lost his captain, his team lost their shape, their heads and their discipline. Harsh to judge him on this shambles. He’ll have better days for sure. MISS

Jeremie Boga

The 20-year-old Ivory Coast midfielder can count himself so unlucky to have had his day cut short. He was replaced by Andreas Christensen when Cahill was sent off. JURY’S OUT

Andreas Christiansen

On as a first-half sub in place of Boga when Cahill taken off. All over the place at first as Burnley ran riot. Better in the second half and unlucky not to be involved in a goal for 2-3. MISS

Charly Musonda

Not enough time to make his mark as a late replacement for Christiansen as Chelsea chased the game late on. JURY’S OUT

Boss: Antonio Conte

At times he smiled ruefully to himself on the touchline as his summer nightmare continued. A stretched squad, Eden Hazard and Pedro injured and now both Gary Cahill and Cesc Fabregas suspended for Tottenham away next week. Make no mistake, this is a crisis for the Italian. Yes, he needs more signings. But now he needs his team to rediscover their backbone.

Heaton 7

Could never have thought he’d have a day this easy against the Champions. Two fine saves from Alonso.

FT Chelsea 2-3 Burnley

16:57

That's all we've got time for today folks, so congratulations to Sean Dyche and his men! Perhaps they can do better on the road this term to go with their impressive home form of 2016-17. Join us again next time for more LIVE action.

16:56

This surprise result could strengthen Conte's hand in seeking reinforcements before the transfer window closes, but Chelsea supporters will fear a repeat of the slump that followed their 2014-15 title triumph and ultimately cost Jose Mourinho his job in December 2015.

16:56

Morata really impressed when he came on, setting up David Luiz's goal, but the day belongs to Burnley. A famous victory for the Clarets, as the reigning champions lose on the opening day of the season for the first time since Aston Villa back in 1981.

16:55

WOW, what a start to the champions' Premier League title defence. They went down to 10 men and fell 3-0 behind to plucky little Burnley. An attempted comeback wasn't helped by Cesc Fabregas joining Gary Cahill in being sent off, but Chelsea still got it back to 3-2.

16:5390+3 minsminute by minute

CHANCE! Alonso fires into a thicket of players inside the area but it bounces clear, Morata unable to react quickly enough. That must be it!

16:5390+3 minsminute by minute

Willian crosses but a Burnley head is there to clear it for a throw-in. The crowd are on the edge of their seats!

16:5290+3 minsminute by minute

Into the final minute of added time now at Stamford Bridge. Burnley are desperate to see it out!

16:5190+2 minsminute by minute

Conte is hopping up and down on the touchline. The Italian wasn't happy at the amount of added time and now he's urging his players to make the most of what little opportunities they have left.

16:5090+2 minsminute by minute

The sub is subbed, Christensen making way for Charly Musonda as Conte tries to summon some magic in injury time.

16:4990+1 minsminute by minute

The fourth official's electronic board has gone up to display four minutes of added time here. What a finish we have in store!

POST! Brady's free-kick from just outside the area HAMMERS against the woodwork as Burnley narrowly fail to restore a two-goal cushion.

16:4888 minsminute by minute

A clever flicked header from Morata fell perfectly for David Luiz. The newcomer has done really well since coming on.

Yellow card Antonio Rüdiger

16:4788 minsminute by minute

SQUEAKY BUM TIME! Burnley are in trouble here. Morata flicked the ball on for the unlikely figure of David Luiz, who latched onto it and fired a firm finish past the helpless Heaton. Can the nine men find an equaliser in the final minutes?

16:4586 minsminute by minute

PENALTY APPEAL! Kante puts in the cross and Alonso goes down under pressure from Brady inside the area, but Pawson shows no interest in awarding a spot-kick. Hopeful stuff from the Spaniard and the subsequent corner is cleared.

16:4385 minsminute by minute

CHANCE! Morata scrambles to his feet to pick up possession, makes space for himself and fires off a snap shot that is saved by Heaton. The performance of the striker is a cause for optimism on a disappointing day for Chelsea.

16:4283 minsminute by minute

STAT: Chelsea have been given two red cards in the same Premier League game for the first time since March 2014 (vs Aston Villa). Thanks for that one, Opta.

16:4282 minsminute by minute

Going down to nine men could be enough to kill off Chelsea's comeback and make a famous win for Burnley safe here in west London. The Chelsea fans are singing "3-1 to the referee" but the home side have contributed to their own demise.

16:4081 minsminute by minute

RED! He's flirted with big trouble ever since he entered the ref's book in the first half and Fabregas now joins Cahill in seeing red. A late challenge on Cork is enough for Pawson to bring out the yellow card yet again and the former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder has to walk. He'll be suspended for the meeting with Tottenham next week.

16:3979 minsminute by minute

And from the subsequent set-piece, the balls falls to Kante on the edge of the area. The France midfielder takes a pot shot, which sails wide of the post. Not a bad attempt, but time is running out for Chelsea.

16:3879 minsminute by minute

They may only have 10 men, but Chelsea are controlling things late on here at Stamford Bridge. Good work by Willian inside the area wins the hosts a corner.

16:3777 minsminute by minute

The offside flag again denies Chelsea and, on a day of dissent, David Luiz talks his way into a yellow, the defender unimpressed as Morata is flagged for straying beyond the Burnley backline.
